A leading hydraulics and fluid management specialist has set its sights on consolidating its presence in Australia thanks to multimillion-dollar investment.

An uptick in business, particularly in the naval and defence sector, has fuelled Saturn Fluid Engineering Group aspirations to grow current operations co-ordinated from Adelaide SA and Perth WA to include the strategically important cities of Cairns and Sydney to support commercial marine and naval sustainment programmes.

With around $1 million invested in establishing a footprint in Australia so far, another $3.1 million over the next two years will notably increase the progressive company’s presence in Western Australia’s energy sector and develop a bespoke facility in Adelaide, SA to support its growing number of partners in the significant defence sector. 

Saturn Fluid Engineering Group is headquartered in Dundee and operates bases and facilities in Dubai, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia and Australia. The company’s global team of over 50 is committed to delivering top-drawer fluid management services and innovative solutions to a growing number of clients from across critical markets including marine, decommissioning, mining, oil and gas, food and beverage, power generation and chemical supply/development sectors and naval defence which accounted for more than 60% of total revenues in 2024.  

With a commitment to delivering excellent, bespoke services that ably meet the demands of Australian industries, core specialities include environmentally friendly cleaning solutions, including pipework chemical cleaning and flushing, hydraulic system repair and refurbishment, system design and manufacture, pipework and subsea services. Throughout, the emphasis is on maximum performance with minimum ecological impact using innovative methods that balance precision and efficiency with environmental sustainability.
